Intro: C - Em (find yourself a nice picking pattern)
[C]Silver couplets are underneath the branches
[Em]Of a wilted maple, raking up the leaves
[F]Trying find my head, must've been out here
Buried it with the memories of mom and dad
[C]Slipped through one of my hands, never got too bad
[Em]But this one's worse
Still remember jumping i[F]n the leaves
We were merely children, not anything more
Just learned to drink away our pain
[C]And it's a shame, heard you rode in the back seat
[Em]All the way to long beach
Remember the days you were [F]driving
You and I were in a mess
I guess we all fall with our sins, we never wanted
[C]Find some solace, at least a little piece of mind
[Em]I know I'm wasting away this time
If you [F]focus hard enough on the smoke, from my cigarette
I think that I see heaven
[Em]I can't blame you for the [Am]things that occurred
Cause they're [C]all in my head
I know that's wrong, I know thats wr[G]ong now
[F]And I'm sorry, at least that's what I[C] think I say
Or I'd hoped [G]you'd say
[C]Silver couplets are underneath the branches ---> From here on out go for full chords rather than picking
[Em]Of wilted maples, raking up the leaves
[F]Trying to find my head, must've been here
Buried with the memories
[C]Slipped through my hands, I know [Em]those wise words
Oh I know, I know
[F]We all fall down, by tumbling down
Can't seem to catch your fall
[C]And it's a shame
Heard you rode in the back seat
[Em]All the way, remember the days you were [F]driving
But you and I were in a mess
I guess we all fall with our sins, we never wanted
[C]Find some solace, at least a little piece of mind
[Em]I know I'm wasting away this time
[F]If you focus hard enough on the smoke from my cigarette
